A path to citizenship? #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought of the Obama administration's immigration proposal. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

I agree with President Obama's immigration plan, especially the path to citizenship!

— @Mama4Obama1

This whole debate needs to start with visible and measurable success securing the border. Period.

— @winefishdawg

Illegal immigrants should have a waiting period like everyone else. Go through the normal steps as people from other countries do.

— @dabritishdude

I am in favor of Obama's plan because we cannot keep people out. They can be productive here in the meantime.

— @IdahoIndependen

This is a slap in the face for the many immigrants who came here legally, like me and my parents.

— @roylee1

Immigrants have stimulated the economy before. America is a nation of immigrants. Let them in, and they can increase the workforce.

— @kaitiepoop

We need to help our own citizens first, not those here illegally.
